2 Shear zones, Catalina and Tanque Verde

3 Outline Review structures you saw on Saturday Clarify some questions Come up with a geologic model for the Catalinas Takehome points - shear zones

14 Still nature with dudes

15 Normal faults throughout - cut foliation and other ductile structures

16 Normal fault

17 Foliation- not sedimentary layering Measurable like bedding-good first indication of direction of ductile deformation

18 Mylonites Porphyroclasts Gneissic banding Rotated crystals

19 Fractured fold - top to the south

20

21 S C

22 Lineation- not as clearly defined as foliation; why? What kinda tectonites are these then? Dudes

23 Top to the south sense of shear

24

25

26 Ductile first Brittle later

27 Beware of dog approaching

28 X-cutting dike (or discordant igneous intrusion if you wish) - seals all the ductile deformation- an absolute age on this basaltic material would constrain the end of ductile deformation

29

30 Ductile deformation top to the south is given by foliation (direction), sense of shear indicators (folding, S-Cs) and lineation Brittle is overprinted- low angle normal faults cutting the old foliation

33 Sequence of events:

34 The strength versus depth issue

35 Reminder-simple shear deformation
